| Description of the problem | The headlights on this 2017 mb gle350 are a hazard. They do not light up the road way in the dark and especially in the rain. Curvy and unknown roads are treacherous unless there is a car in front leading the way. We are no longer driving this car at night. Unfortunately, i must drive it to work in the dark in the mornings. The dealership, felix sabates in charlotte, nc, will not do any fix to the headlights. Apparently when we bought the car we needed to pay extra for the light package that works which was not discussed or offered. They know there is a problem with the lights but they are not addressing it. |
